Spanish police arrest three men suspected of being involved in the Anonymous hacking group, which has told the world to expect a response.

Anonymous has warned about repercussions following arrests of three individuals suspected of being key members of the hacking group.

Arrests of the unnamed men were made in three Spanish cities - Barcelona, Valencia and Almeria - earlier this week.

AnonOps, the hacking group, referencing events in Spain, simply wrote “Expect us” on both a blog post and a Twitter status update.

Spain's Technological Investigation Brigade (BIT) alleged the men had operated a cell of Anonymous, helping run attacks against notable firms like Sony as well as on websites run by Governments of various nations, including Egypt and Iran.

BIT also posted images on Twitter of IRC conversations appearing to show plans to attack Spanish police websites and the electoral board with DDoS attacks.
